Aqua Nor has once again delivered beyond all expectations. Even though the weather gods did not deliver, the summaries after the week in Trondheim are a success both for the entire concert.
– “We had a fantastic exhibition week where we met customers and partners, made new contacts and confirmed that Aqua Nor is the aquaculture industry’s most important meeting place,” says Marketing Manager Anita Hårstad.
This year, as in previous years, Anita was at the forefront of all efforts throughout the fair. As advertised, ScaleAQ had one of the largest stands at the fair, and it certainly felt the strain. For the first time, the fair saw more than 10,000 visitors on a single day, and a total of more than 25,000 people attended during the week.
– “It was incredibly fun to see the response we got. The feedback has been enormous,” says Anita.
CEO Audun adds.
– I want to praise everyone who has contributed. The work that has been done in advance is impressive to say the least. In addition, I see a sense of pride in all of us. It gives energy and rubs off on customers. It’s incredibly fun to get so much good feedback. Many thanks to everyone!
In addition to the exhibition halls at Nidarø, Skansen Aqua Nor has its own outdoor area down at Ila. The Skansen area is designed for boats and rafts.
– We were able to showcase the breadth of our product range – with a full-scale floating collar, feed barge, water feeding system, thermoliser, silage solutions, probot and five boats from Moen Marin. Despite the changeable weather, Skansen was well attended by customers, partners, students and the press, and the atmosphere was high throughout the week,” emphasizes Hårstad.
Tuesday was a highlight with the christening of the Nova Concrete feed barge, followed by a visit from HRH Crown Prince Haakon, who was given a tour of the barge, the floating collar and the Moen Marin boats. NRK visited the stand at Skansen and made a very positive feature, where CEO Audun Fjeldvær was interviewed.

The After Fair was held on both Tuesday and Wednesday, with a full house, serving bacalao and drinks, as well as musical entertainment from Moen Marin’s house band, a popular feature that created great excitement.
Inside exhibition hall A, the stand in Spektrum marked an important milestone in ScaleAQ’s history. For the first time, Moen Marin, Maskon and ScaleAQ stood together under the same roof.
– Here we were able to show both the breadth of our products and the Group’s solid expertise. Among the highlights were the launch of Mason’s new vaccination machine, our closed system Heimdall, the camera solution Orbit One, subsea and floating collar models, several boat models from Moen Marin and Probotic’s Probot.
Everything was presented under the common message One Group, One Goal. To accommodate all the products, a second floor was built with seating and catering.
– In this way, we could provide a natural meeting place for good conversations with customers and partners.
We also recorded a “live” podcast with Hanne and Jerome, who had several exciting guests visiting. The episodes will be available during the fall. The first one with one of the aquaculture industry’s most famous faces, Ola Braanas, is already out.

Feedback from customers shows that the professional program was very well received. The launch seminar for Heimdall and Orbit One was the most attended, with over 100 participants. In addition, we organized a breakfast seminar on the SirkAQ project and the circular economy in aquaculture, a seminar on safety in marine structures, and a separate breakfast seminar aimed at students.
This year’s fair marked three important product launches: Heimdall closed system, Orbit One camera system and Mason’s new vaccination machine.
The launch party at Havet was one of the week’s major highlights. With over 700 guests, the gathering was without a doubt Aqua Nor’s biggest party.
– The evening offered tapas, a great atmosphere from start to finish, and an energetic concert from Bigbang that ended a successful week. “Without a doubt, we can be satisfied with our most important and largest customer event ever. I have every confidence that this will be reflected in the months to come,” says a satisfied marketing manager.
